"I hope so too..."
The commander sighed and said leisurely.
"Lao Qi and I have always had different political views. If he is thinking about the interests of the people and has a different stance, it will naturally not matter."
"But we suspect that he is very likely to have reached some kind of agreement with Yin Cao..."
"As a result, the Control Yuan under his control is likely to become a time bomb within us that may detonate at any time."
Although I had this guess for a long time, I never dared to say it openly. Unexpectedly, the commander-in-chief saw it more clearly than I did and actually thought of this a long time ago.
Once an official number two figure with real power secretly colludes with Yin Cao, the harm it will cause to the entire Yang world is simply unimaginable.
Compared with this, the Jin family's rebellion seemed not to be a big deal.
"Is there any evidence?"
"No, this is just my intuition, so..."
Having said this, the commander looked at me and hesitated to speak.
"Lord Commander, what do you need me to do, just ask me?"
I took a deep breath, already guessing something.
"I would like to ask you to help investigate Qi Kaijiang and find out the evidence that he colluded with the underworld!"
The commander narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice.
Sure enough, even though I had speculations in my mind, I couldn't help but ask questions when I heard that the commander-in-chief personally said that he wanted me to investigate Qi Kaijiang.
"why me?"
Although I have become an official partner, after all, I am just a private figure. How can I be qualified to investigate a big shot like Qi Kaijiang?
In my opinion, whether it is Mr. Hua or the heads of other government agencies, they are more suitable candidates than me.
"Qi Kaijiang controls the Supervisory Yuan and has a supervisory team under his command. All major government agencies are under their supervision, including the Special Intelligence Bureau."
The commander explained: "Strictly speaking, at the official level, there is no suitable person who can investigate him."
"Moreover, once any official agency takes action, it will inevitably arouse his awareness and take precautions."
"But you are different."
The commander pointed at me and said: "You are our partner, but you do not hold any official position. Qi Kaijiang will not be too vigilant."
"Therefore, we believe that it is most appropriate for you to come forward and conduct a secret investigation into Qi Kaijiang."
I glanced at Mr. Hua and saw him looking at me and nodding slightly.
Obviously, this was a decision that he and the commander had discussed beforehand.
"Well,"
I stood up and said, "Since the Commander-in-Chief has such trust, Cheng Yi will definitely do his best to live up to the Commander-in-Chief's trust!"
The commander-in-chief smiled slightly and pushed the tea cup in front of me.
"Don't just talk, drink tea."
I took a sip of tea and continued to ask: "Your Majesty, Inspector General Qi has a high and powerful position. I want to investigate him. How can I start?"
"There's no rush for this."
The commander-in-chief waved his hand and said calmly: "Finding evidence that Qi Kaijiang colluded with Yin Cao will not be achieved overnight."
"You can start from the fringes of his circle and work your way deeper, and we'll give you all the necessary support."
"Don't rush this matter. After a hundred years of catastrophe, your most important task is to find another Yin-Yang secret passage."
"The investigation of Qikaijiang can be carried out as an auxiliary task at the same time."
These words of the Commander-in-Chief can be regarded as explaining my main tasks after the hundreds of years of catastrophe.
Originally, I still had many questions in my mind, and I was hesitating whether I should take the opportunity to ask the commander-in-chief for clarification.
But before I could say anything, Mr. Hua stood up and took my arm.
"Okay, thank you so much for the good tea today, Lord Commander. It's getting late, so we'll go back first."
The commander just smiled and nodded, without saying much.
Immediately, Mr. Hua pulled me out of the conference room and walked out of the meeting hall in one breath.
"Mr. Hua, why are you in such a hurry to drag me away? I still have many questions that I haven't figured out yet..."
Standing outside the gate, I said to Mr. Hua with some dissatisfaction.
"Cheng Yi, the commander-in-chief has many things to do and is busy with official duties. If he can spare time to meet with us, it means he has something special to explain."
"So, we can discuss related tasks, but don't ask too many irrelevant matters."
I said unhappily: "So the commander-in-chief doesn't completely trust us?"
Mr. Hua shook his head: "It has nothing to do with this. The commander-in-chief occupies a high position and is in charge of the future direction of the entire nation. There are some things that he won't tell us. We'd better not ask questions."
"After all, knowing too much won't do you any good."
After Mr. Hua finished speaking, he looked at my unhappy face and laughed again.
"In this case, if you have any questions, just ask me and I will definitely tell you everything."
Mr. Hua said so, so I naturally didn't want to miss this opportunity, so I started asking questions directly.
"Mr. Hua, since you said so, I won't be polite."
"What I want to know most now is, after the catastrophe comes, will the four major families take action?"
During the process of capturing Oryx, the master of the Feng Family almost single-handedly helped us surrender Oryx, which I still remember vividly.
In my opinion, once a hundred-year catastrophe strikes, the four major aristocratic families are the trump cards for Yang Shi to make a comeback.
But no matter in the previous meeting or in the summons just now, the commander-in-chief never mentioned any news about the four major families, so I couldn't help but have some doubts in my heart.
"Unless the God of Death invades the capital, the four major families will not take action."
Hua Lao sighed and said: "This is the biggest commitment that the four major families can make. Therefore, until the most urgent moment, we can only rely on ourselves."
"But……"
"No need to say more,"
I wanted to ask further, but Mr. Hua waved his hand directly and stopped me from going any further on this issue.
"The four major aristocratic families have their own purposes in Yangshi, so we don't need to be too demanding."
"If you have no other questions, I will send someone to take you back?"
"have!"
I quickly asked: "I also want to know what the international community thinks about the approaching catastrophe of a hundred years?"
Now it can be confirmed that the Centennial Catastrophe is a disaster faced by all mankind, and every country in the world is no exception.
However, China was the first land where the catastrophe came, and the impact it received was naturally the most severe.
Once the evil ghosts of the underworld, the god of death in the wilderness, and the overseas immortals all attack, the pressure China will face will be like a natural chasm.
At this time, if there is international assistance, I think it will definitely reduce our great pressure.
"As I said just now, our entire nation can only rely on ourselves in this catastrophe."
